About Gina Maldonado
About Gina
I am a Colombian artist with a multidisciplinary background in interior design, illustration and fine art. My work is influenced by my love for nature, Latin American heritage and cultural influences of living in Mexico, Italy and Hong Kong.
Before transitioning into a career as an artist, I honed my skills in interior design studios in Italy and Hong Kong, where I worked on a wide range of projects, from private residences to retail and events.
As an artist and illustrator, I have worked with prestigious clients such as The Peninsula Hotels, and my work has been showcased in galleries in Hong Kong.
A celebration of nature's beauty
My hand-painted designs are inspired by nature, my passion for flora and fauna, and my love of colour.
The tactile nature of creating with my own hands pushed me away from working digitally to working with traditional media. My artworks are a tapestry woven from the threads of the biodiversity of my native Colombia, and the colourful gardens I've explored around the world. The cultural influences of living in different countries has added depth and richness to my artistic vision.
With delicate brushstrokes and a unique colour palette, I bring to life intricate artworks that are as vibrant and enchanting as the nature that inspires me.
Sustainability at heart
My love for nature goes beyond admiration; I'm deeply passionate about preserving it. I work exclusively with natural materials that are ethically and environmentally sourced, chosen to align with my commitment to sustainability.
My paintings are not limited to canvases, but extend to a variety of objects, which I select with care and decorate, transforming them into unique works of art. Silk scarves and accessories are made locally using only natural fibres, carefully chosen after thorough research.
Each piece I create is a reflection of my soul, made with meticulous attention to detail that sets it apart from mass-produced replicas. I believe that quality should come before quantity, which is why my objects are crafted in small batches. I want my customers to love their purchase, so they'll treasure it for years to come.
